Lace up your boots, breathe in some fresh air, and reconnect with nature right in our own backyard.

If you are looking to escape the daily grind without leaving the city, a hike through the Rocky River Reservation is the perfect remedy. The trails wind beneath a massive canopy of impressive trees, hugging the curves of the river and leading you right alongside dramatic, towering shale cliffs. Whether you are chasing the calming sound of rushing water, hoping to spot a white-tailed deer, or just looking for a peaceful path to clear your head, this valley feels like a world away. It is the ultimate spot to lace up your boots, breathe in some fresh air, and reconnect with nature right in our own backyard.

Meeting Place: Cottonwood Picnic Area
Hiking Path: Cottonwood Loop (0.5 miles), and neighboring Bridle Trail (as long or short as we'd like to make it)

You planted native. Your neighbor has opinions. Maybe your HOA does too. If you’ve ever felt like the hardest part of native plant gardening is the conversations, not the gardening, you’re not alone.

Wild Ones is thrilled to share this upcoming free webinar as part of the 2026 Less Lawn More Life Challenge. Join Lorraine Johnson for a practical conversation on navigating HOA rules, addressing neighbor concerns, and fostering community conversations about native plant gardening and ecological landscapes.

Join Wild Ones Greater Cleveland for an informal social event in Cleveland Heights. 

Relax with tea, yummy baked goods and friendly conversion. With any luck both the native pollinator gardens and the rain garden will be in bloom to admire. Participants may want to bring their lawn chairs and ideas for further garden inspired events for the discussion. 

Specific address will be provided to those who register.

What does it really take to turn a conventional lawn into a thriving native meadow? Join Owner & Principal, New Directions in the American Landscape (NDAL), Sara Weaner Cooper for a candid look at her family's ongoing lawn-to-meadow transformation featured in The New York Times and BBC. Drawing from three years of hands-on experience, Sara will share the methods, lessons learned, successes, and challenges of converting turfgrass into a dynamic native plant community.
